Australian state bans children who refuse vaccination from attending kindergarten
Victorian pre-schoolers will be banned from attending child care or kindergarten unless they are vaccinated, under new ‘no jab, no play’ laws to be introduced by the State Government.
The new laws will be introduced within weeks and will come into effect on January 1.
“Vaccinations save lives,” Health Minister Jill Hennessy said.
“We are getting tough on this issue because it’s important that we start addressing things like a significant increase in whooping cough.
“We know the spread of things like measles is becoming more virulent.”
Ms Hennessey said there had been 1,000 more cases of whooping cough this year compared to last year.
She said the matter was a community safety issue.
“It’s not just in the interests of an individual child, but all of us,” she said.
“Our aim is not to exclude kids from early childhood services. Our aim is to get people immunised and we’re going to use this as an incentive and a prompt.”
Vaccination rates plateaued
It followed moves by the Federal Government to strip social security payments from parents who do not immunise their children.
Conscientious objections would not be allowed and only those with a doctor’s certificate would be exempt.
“The science on this issue is really clear. Vaccinations save lives,” Ms Hennessey said.
“I pay no heed to those [who] go around putting mistruths out about vaccinations
“We know that it is absolutely essential to get your children vaccinated if you can and only if there are medical reasons as to why a child can’t be vaccinated will that be acceptable.”
Vaccination rates in Victoria have hovered around 92 per cent for a number of years but that number has plateaued.
“So we know we need to do more to lift it, bringing in ‘no jab, no play’ laws which we are hopeful will help lift those vaccination rates,” she said.

Well Jill Hennessy, I’d like to inject you with an equivalent amount of mercury and aluminium as per body weight that you are “claiming” is so benevolent for children. You are either one of the worst kind of heartless monsters ever to infest a human body or……..you are so brain dead that the very concept of an independant thought scares you so much you don’t even analyse your own statements. You are a mouthpiece for evil. There is no excuse for ignorance any more. Your belief in pharmaceutical propaganda is so complete that you can’t take 5 minutes to google for the truth? Admitedly, it will take you more than 5 minutes but it is what you are supposed to be being paid to find out. Not finding out is a dereliction of duty. You will be held accountable and you will one day soon have to explain why you chose not to investigate your own claims. Maybe the stupid tag is fairly on the money eh?
Australia also has immunization requirements for entitlement to supplemental Family Tax and Child Care Benefits.
Vaccinations being so beneficial, and all, that financial coercion is required to punch above a 90% take up rate. Eh, what happened to herd immunity?
